John Ashbery Presentation at NBCC Anniversary Ceremony



In Sunday’s post at “One Poet’s Notes” I discussed the celebration in New York City of the National Book Critics Circle Board’s 35th anniversary, and I noted John Ashbery’s participation since his book of poems, Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror, was the recipient of the first NBCC book award for poetry. I am pleased to see Ashbery’s prepared remarks are now available on a video, and I offer it here for all to view. He is introduced by Rigoberto Gonzalez, an NBCC board member.

I love Ashbery as both a poet and a person. I met him once. He's always very grateful for his fans, very humble despite his success, and always, always, young.
